Providing Support to IB Communities Impacted by the LA Fires

Dear colleagues in California and the greater IB global community,

The California fires dominating the global news have been insurmountably devastating for families in the Los Angeles region. Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this horrible event. For our California schools, please remember that CAWS is there to serve and advocate for you however we can. We all see the immediate impact of what is happening in the LA region, but know the unforeseen long-term effects will be equally challenging. For our California colleagues, whether advocating through the state or with IBO, CAWS will always be your main point of contact for information, advocacy and support.

The 2023 California Mathematics Framework and the IB framework share a common vision: fostering deep mathematical thinking, inquiry, and real-world application. This webinar will explore key areas of alignment across K-12, highlighting how the CA Math Framework supports IB educators in implementing rich, concept-driven mathematics. Join us to examine strategies, resources, and practical insights for bringing these frameworks together in your classroom.

Our discussion will apply to all levels of IB mathematics.

With assistance from our colleagues at the Committee for Education Funding in Washington D.C., we wanted to list these in one document with links so you would have the text available for your review. In the coming weeks and months, we will keep you posted on the details and implementation issues involved with many of these that have the most significant impacts on TK-12 schools in California. The Executive Orders include:
